| Description |
The 25 dancers who turn up at the beginning, hoping to get a part in the chorus line of a Broadway musical, are the victims of a cruel elimination contest. Only eight of them are destined to be chosen ... the auditions become a metaphor for the competitive dog-eat-dog world which most of us inhabit. |
